Welcome to the Wilbur-Cruce Spanish Colonial Horse Page! These Spanish Colonial horses are 100% Spanish blood and of the Carthusian/warhorse type, brought to the Americas in the 16th century. They are naturally balanced and well suited for ranch work, Classical dressage, and Working Equitation.
Explore this unique and rare breed at www.HistoryonHooves.com and www.ranchodelsueno.com. The Team at Gratitude Ranch in Evergreen, Colorado has obtained two of these spectacular overo stallions. They will be available for breeding, with special consideration to Andalusian, PRE, and Wilbur-Cruce mares. Our team includes Kim Congello, owner of the gorgeous overo stallion Lladro; and Gillian Conley, owner of Pajarita, the sweet pure Wilbur-Cruce mare. Mondo another overo stallion, is owned and loved by Kari and Jim Ketchledge.
